Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 614: Counterattack! Counterattack!

The first day of the National Day holiday has ended, and box office data from major platforms and institutions have been released one after another.

The data from several companies are slightly different, but they are basically within the error range.

The box office of "Battle of the Republic" continued to soar the next day, earning 3.1 million yuan in a single day, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 5.2 million yuan.

He was almost running towards the championship throne with great momentum, as if he was ready to kill anyone who stood in his way!

However, the situation of the runner-up is a bit delicate - the single-day box office is only 1.6 million, and the cumulative box office is only 3 million.

Looking only at the data, this result is definitely not bad, but it is far from everyone's previous expectations.

Originally, everyone thought that this year's National Day period should be a competition between "Gunsmoke" and "The Founding of a Nation". Although "Gunsmoke" did not have an advantage in production scale and subject matter selection, it had a strong cast!
Listing all those movie kings and queens is simply terrifying!
In everyone's opinion, even if there is a win or loss for either side, the difference will not be that big, and it will most likely be a tug-of-war.

However, now, based on just the data from the second day, there is already a huge difference, and "Gunsmoke" has basically fallen behind.

However, this situation is not very surprising. After watching the first day's premiere, many people in the industry already knew that this film would definitely fall behind.

The subject matter is not that pleasing to begin with, and the filming is not that great, so it is likely to be a lack of follow-up work.

In comparison, the movie "Battle of the Founding of a Nation" next door is much more appealing. The subject matter is grand and the whole film almost brings together the highest level of the Chinese film industry. The visual sense alone can attract countless movie fans to the cinema.

This type of film is basically unlikely to fail as long as there are no major flaws in the writing and the core.

The box office trends on the second day perfectly confirmed everyone's speculation.

However, what really surprised everyone was the speed at which the third title, "Inheritance", caught up.

The single-day box office was 1.4 million, and the cumulative box office was 2.2 million!
Although it is still firmly in third place, the gap with the second place is very small!

And this gap is created when the gap in film scheduling is still huge!
This proves one thing - the attendance rate of "Inheritance" is much higher than that of "Gunsmoke"!
Once this situation continues for more than two days, the screening rate will immediately change accordingly. Survival of the fittest, that's the rule of the market.

We all have the main theme, and there is no need to talk about who has a more noble bloodline. We just schedule more of what the audience likes to watch. Is that okay?
And once the screening share of "Inheritance" increases... with the current trend, it is basically no surprise that its box office will surpass "Gunsmoke" and take the second place.

This data also prompted more film practitioners to re-evaluate this film.

When the project was first launched, almost no one was optimistic about this film, and the compilation format was of course one of the most important reasons.

Movies are different from TV series. It is difficult to tell a complete story in two hours.

This ability to highly compress plot information is a test of the director's skills!
However, compilation movies will continue to compress the already limited time, with each movie only having about half an hour to watch.

It is already difficult to tell a complete story in such a short time, let alone conveying values...it is even more difficult!
Therefore, even with a famous director, people were not optimistic about the market performance of this film. Almost everyone assumed that it was the second-best among the three main theme films. The actual performance after its release did confirm their guess to a large extent - due to the length and time constraints, the performance of the unit short film after high-intensity compression was very average, and even the famous director who had been in the industry for a long time felt a little restrained.

All the previous tricks, clues, jokes and showmanship that they used to do are now completely useless... The overall quality is actually not as good as their normal level.

But there was an accident here - Zhou Hao, a newcomer in the director circle, handed in an answer sheet that was almost perfect!

The time given to him in the whole film is the least, only 25 minutes. The cartoons watched by children are longer than that!
However, it uses a very simple narrative technique to tell a complete and heart-wrenching story.

The script, the directing, the editing, the excellent acting skills of everyone involved, the touching subject matter drawn from reality... apart from the length, there is really nothing to fault with it!
Word-of-mouth feedback speaks for itself - on all online platforms, reviews for this unit are almost overwhelmingly positive.

Although there are some "independent thinkers" who sing a different tune, they are unable to shake the basic reputation of the product.

Even Huaban.com, which has always been at odds with Zhou Hao, has shown signs of user "rebellion", which is the most powerful proof.

"Inheritance" can show its current counterattack momentum, and "Poetry" definitely plays a great role in it!

What makes everyone even more impressed is that the director of this short film is only a newcomer who has been in the industry for two and a half years...

Even if we get into the film industry specifically, he hasn’t even been in the industry for a year!
Before this, he had only filmed two online movies on streaming platforms, one of which was just a mobile phone movie for fun!
Such a rookie director directly overshadowed a group of famous directors...for a time, many veteran directors felt emotional.

The young are to be feared! The young are to be feared!

If you ask who is the happiest during this period, it must be Zhou Hao’s fans.

In the music circle, Xu Lingyue's "As Wish" became popular again thanks to the movie "Inheritance" and returned to the top of the best-selling list.

Especially the single "As Wish", its popularity had already declined, but with the hit of "Poetry" and the popularity of the last part of the poem... "As Wish", which served as background music, became popular again.

Many people who originally didn't listen to Xu Lingyue also began to search for and learn about this talented female singer, including many uncles and aunts...

In the drama circle, "The Disguiser" began to slowly show its ferocious fangs after its initial slow start, and its ratings and broadcast volume began to climb steadily!
The popularity of "Poetry" also made the heroine Su Man popular overnight, and also boosted the currently popular "The Pretender"...

All TV dramas of the same period could only helplessly give the French salute as they watched the increasingly outrageous statistics of "The Disguiser".

Not to mention the film industry, "Poetry" achieved both fame and fortune in the shortest length, becoming the most dazzling dark horse in this year's National Day movie.

For someone working in the entertainment industry, this kind of performance that is flourishing in all aspects can almost be called "dominant".

Many old fans who have been following him since the "Teacher Zhou" era even expressed the emotion of an old father.

This child of mine is finally beginning to show the qualities of a great emperor!
